(Main riff x2)
(riff 2 x16)
You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather.

(bass riff x8) then A—0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
(do this after each time you do the bass riff 8 times)

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah.

(mani riff x5)
Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack.

(riff 2 x16)
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south.

(bass riff x8)
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by.

(main riff x5)
Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done.

(bass solo)

(bass riff x8)
 But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah.

(main riff x5)

(little drum solo)

(main riff x16)
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south.

(bass riff x8)
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by.

(main riff x10)
Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done.
Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack.
THE END.

    That's all! I think I did a really goog job with this tab. This is my first
tab that I've put on a tabs site so I think I did really good with it, and I
hope you think so too! And Keith Moon is an awsome drummer by the way.

Rock on! Nicky Jadaszewski.
